...I mean, we all know about the FBI...
The CIA is the epitome of the deep state. They work for themselves and their agency, not America. They can shovel we are patriots crap until the cows come home, I’m not buying it anymore, their actions say otherwise.
They have screwed up time and time again and got thousands of GI’s killed, wounded and disabled for life as well as thousands of American citizens. No one is ever demoted, fired, prosecuted.
Throw in the fact that they love to meddle in internal politics and you have a disaster in the making. Truman screwed the pooch creating these dillweed’s.
As for it being an alarming failure, really you just come to that conclusion this late in the game?
